Date Reviewed: June 29, 2005 | | Favorite Trail: | Any, just luv to ride | | Duration Product Used: | 3 months | | Price Paid: |
$1399.00 | | Purchased At: | Bicycle Village (on sale) | | Strengths: | Super light ride, awesome components for the $, frame construction, racy geometry, etc, etc, etc | | Weaknesses: | Classic Bianchi mint green color, limited choices on frame size, would have liked more slope on top tube, LX front derailleur, Mavic 117 rims | | Similar Products Used: | Cannondale, Specialized Stumpy, Trek OCLV | | Bike Setup: | Stock with the exception of longer stem (Thomson X4 120mm), setback seatpost (Thomson), XTR front derailleur, Crank Bros. Eggbeater pedals, Chris King headset, Mavic 717 rims | | Bottom Line: | For what I paid for the bike, couldn't have asked for anything better! It's hard to find a good race ready hard tail for under $1750. I still prefer the Specialized frame geometery over the Bianchi's but that's just my preference and the Bianchi does not ride any less for it. However the Bianchi beats out the Specialized in stock componentry and WEIGHT! The Bianchi's mix of carbon stays and Scandium Aluminum frame can't be beat! | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |
